Declaration

TdxLayoutCxLookAndFeel = class(
    TdxLayoutStandardLookAndFeel,

Main API Members

The list below outlines key members of the TdxLayoutCxLookAndFeel class. These members allow you to configure look & feel settings at the level of individual Layout controls, groups, and items.

Appearance Settings

DefaultUseSkinOffsets: Enable or disable skin-determined offsets for layout groups, and items for all layout look & feel components in the application. The UseSkinOffsets property allows you to override this setting at the level of an individual layout look & feel component.
GroupOptions | ItemOptions: Provide access to layout group and item-specific settings.
LookAndFeel: Provides access to look & feel settings (skin name and native style, for example) defined in the layout look & feel component.

Note
If you use the LookAndFeel.SkinName property to select a vector skin at the level of a Layout control, group, or item, the selected skin uses the color palette defined at the global level (TdxSkinController.SkinPaletteName).
Offsets: Specifies offsets for layout groups and items. If a skin is applied to the Layout control, UseSkinOffsets and DefaultUseSkinOffsets property values determine if the Offsets property is in effect.
UseSkinOffsets: Specifies if the layout look & feel component applies skin-determined offsets for layout groups, and items instead of corresponding values defined using the Offsets property.
